ThinkPad T510 problem with the CPU frequency

Hello
I was a problem with the CPU frequency - in DC or battery it works 1/2 frequency (1196 MHz), but when my thinkpad plugged and is with battery it works OK (2400 MHz).
Do you have any suggestions how to solve this problem.

ThinkPad T510 (4384) intel core i5, 6 GB of Ram.
Thank you.
Best regards Nikolay

What your seeing is actually normal and a result of power management settings. When it is on battery, the reduced CPU clock speed to improve the battery life and only increases in speed if a program requires processing power (games, adobe photoshop, CAD, etc.). If you wish, you can disable this feature by setting the "maximum performance" option in the Lenovo power management program and get into the bios and disable "Intel Speedstep" and similar power options setting. I hope this helps.

    Hi Isosik,

    Welcome to Lenovo Community!

    According to the request, we understand that you are facing problem with the display resolution on your ThinkPad X 230.

    If you have updated the drivers from Windows update, sometimes this kind of problem occurs with windows generic drivers for cause of driver incompatibility, suggest always update drivers only via the ThinkVantage System Update utility. Update only the application of Microsoft Windows Update.

    You can also manually download the drivers from the Lenovo support site.

  • I started having problems with the wireless mouse and the carpet of my laptop - Lenovo ThinkPad T420 mouse.

    Original title: right click on the mouse itself activating

    I borrowed a USB to a person at work and I started having problems with the wireless mouse and the carpet of my laptop - Lenovo ThinkPad T420 mouse. The left click of two devices works normally, however, sometimes she does not respond to clicks and it takes a few seconds to work. The left button was constantly starts to turn on, as if he was stuck. After that I hit Alt + Tab and modify windows it stops for a few moments and starts at a later date. I havo not found a specific condition or a combination of keys that may trigger the fault.

    I read a few posts on discussion forums, but all say that it could be a hardware problem, which I think is not, because both devices have the same problem and I'm sure it all started with the insertion of the borrowed memory stick. I scanned the readers to help Symantec's EndPoint Protection and installed Microsoft Security Essentials and performed a full scan, but found nothing. I even restored the system, but the problem remains.

    Should I get a different antivirus? How can I find the cause so I can find a better targeted solution?

    Try to install the drivers from this link and check.

    Dear all,

    I bought a X 230 (i7) laptop.  I found that has removed the battery from the laptop and use only the power supply with the X 230 Notenook.  The CPU frequency will said to 1189 MHz.  It will not change no matter how the laptop program is running.  The CPU frequency will increase to 2.9 GHz or up to Turbo when the laptop with battery or battery and AC power.  Why the CPU frequency will be just said to 1189 MHz when the X 230 had AC power ONLY (battery removed)?  This is not good.  No matter which setting in X 230 Notebook need to change?  Help, please.

    Welcome to the forum!

    What you feel is the factory default setting. You may or may not be able to get around using an adapter 90 w instead of a 65W one, but I've generally not recommended to use the ThinkPads without a pile of work.

    Hello

    Which program gives you this error message about the cooling system?

    Before contacting a service partner, as you can read in the error message, you must clean the cooling system using a jet of compressed air. Maybe dust blocking the fan or something else. Of more to clean up it of not necessary to disassemble.

  • Qosmio G20 error message: problem with the cooling system has been detected

    I'm trying to fix a Qosmio G20 (which is about 3 years old, it is no longer in warranty).

    Error message: Warning: a problem with the cooling system has been detected.

    I managed to remove the outer case and observe the operation of the machine, and basically one of the fans does not at all. The fan which is closest to the power connector seems to work very well (he seems to be turning a lot, do not know if this is normal), but the other fan who does not seem to move at all.

    When I put in place the case and on the machine, I noticed after a few minutes the vent of the fan working heat sink had warm enough, while led the non-working fan remained cool.

    I cleaned the fan from dust and have also changed the BIOS battery mode mode high performance, but the problem still exists.

    I would be grateful if someone could give advice if the problem is the fan or something else.

    If the fan is the problem, where I can buy a: i live in the United Kingdom?

    Hello

    I think there might be something wrong with the cooling module and the replacement would be necessary.
    Usually, this should be done by an authorized provider (ASP) in your country.

    Technicians could replace it with a new part and also could renew the thermal grease which is placed between the module and the CPU cooling.

    So contact the ASP in your country and ask for later handling.

    By the way; also, you can buy the cooling of the ASP module!

    Good luck

  • Satellite C660D - a problem with the cooling system has been detected

    My laptop is a * Toshiba Satellite C660D-11th * and I have a message that keeps coming up every once in a while 'alert system' head and reads as follows: "WARNING: a problem with the cooling system has been detected." (Next line) Please, turn off computer immediately and return it for service. »

    I had this warning for the coming weeks and it tolerated, but it worsened and annoyed me for the last time. I can hear the fan and the computer is not over heating (the CPUCool freeware tool detects a 51º CPU temprature C). No further questions arise as the computer slows down, it is right in the path of what I do, like typing right now.

    I tried to solve the problem by changing the "Power Options" in the control panel of Windows 7 'High Performance', and then selected under the 'battery' both 'Sector' columns, 'Never' for the parameter "put the computer to sleep. It seems to work, and no error message has occurred since then. However, this is not a solution...

    Please help quickly, this prevents me from working and even other things now.

    Hello

    Usually, this message would appear if something is not wrong with the cooling system. But I read here in the forum that maybe it's a bug of software and after new system recovery this message should no longer appear.

    But if you notice some upper temperature or abnormal noises, then I recommend to check this with a service technician

  • Satellite U400 - 10L: problem with the start-up & reboot

    Hello

    Well I don't like much about the touchpad overheating but I have a problem. When I restart this mobo instead of activate after a reboot it stays black without any reaction only lower diods, dvd - rom and the display flashes (can't hear fan or hard drive).

    If I press the power button / stop all the icons of diod (ac, pwr, hdd bat) shine up just for a second and new (can't hear the fan hard drive or cpu) computer does not turn on. All this happened only when AC cable is connected to the power if I use just notebook power source battery boots and restart without problems.

    If I remove battery completely from the laptop, once more, I get the same symptoms (cannot start). And the saddest part of this story is the fact that I got brand new Toshiba U400 10 L to the seller and got a new.
    It has the exact same problem.
    As you all probably understand im crazy because in the last two days, I tried really everything, including the BIOS without flashing and the success.

    Well im not sure whats going on, but this could be the problem with the battery or a bad contact?
    Any ideas?
    I would return it back?

    Thanks much for the reply

    Hello

    The behavior of your laptop is really strange and I suppose it might be bound only to a hardware problem.

    A friend of mine couldn't t start the laptop connected to the AC adapter the power adapter is faulty. It was only possible to start Notepad using the battery, and only if the battery was not completely empty.

    I put t know if your AC adapter failures but the authorized service provider should definitely check out the laptop and accessory for laptop (AC adapter).

    Then call the ASP in your country and ask the technicians for later handling.

  • Error message "A problem with the cooling system" on Satellite A660

    Hi all

    Hope I can get help here. I got about 5 laptop computers HP after each of them had problems and errors. I got sick of them and so got a refund and bought a high spec A660-1FH.

    The A660 is a great laptop for two days until yesterday when I started having a saying of warning message "a problem with the cooling system has been detected. Please turn off the power immediately and return it for service "."

    The cpu fan works fine you can here it turns and the temperature of the processor i5 - 460 m is around 40 degrees for two hearts - that seems normal to me. I noticed that this happens only when running on battery, and if you switch from eco utility to the power saving mode. Its fine when running on the "balanced" power setting The fan is louder before when this message appears.

    Like its less than 28 days my retailer swapped it for a brand new immediately. Got a new home page, and the same message reappears. Everyone knows this. Like two laptops had this, I was wondering if it is normal that the laptop A660 series or if it was really a hardware problem?

    I tried to update the eco utility and the bios of the laptop, but the two are the latest versions. Can someone help or share if they have a similar problem with their laptop?

    Thank you

    In front of me, I have Satellite A660-13 q (PSAW3E) and I have about 6 weeks now. It works almost 10 hours a day and so far I didn't notice this message or anything that may be suspect for the operation of the equipment.

    I put really know why this happen on your laptop and don t think that there is nothing you can do about it.
    I would trade it again. What you can also try is to contact the closest service Toshiba. Make a call, explain the situation and ask if they can help you with this.

  • Satellite A500 - problems with the temperature of the GPU

    The thing is playing Age of Empires online I started having problems with the temperature of the GPU. When you run the AIDA64 the CPU stress test can hold up well, but after 35 minutes the test what AIDA suspended while the GPU fan can't seem to download their revolutions, (I guess that if there was that a rise in temperature would increase the speed of rotation of the fan, don't).

    I consulted the manufacturer of the GPU, nVidia, (the graphic is nVidia GeForce GT 230 M) and tell me to contact Toshiba for other options, since, according to them, the problem is not the GPU.

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    I m of the problems with the Elitebook 8460p driver display. The latest version (15.28.20.64.3347), published on 16 June 2014 have some problems on the laptop. When the laptop is running on battery screen suffers from flicker and damaged graphics, as you can see in this video:

    https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=gQ1w0aOaF7A

    (you can see the flickering between 0:20-0:22)

    I contacted with support local hp and send me a COMPUTER technician, who has changed my motherboard and CPU, but nothing worked. I tried to contact with intel for support (the issue is present with drivers intel non - oem), but they are sending me to the OEM. I would like to have a real driver that works with the system (3347 is a driver of the year), is it possible?

    This isn´t of question at all in linux drivers, more change motherboard I totally ignore a hardware problem.

    I can provide feedback to any solution.

  • Problem with the generation of multi-sinus wavefrom of random phase using PXI-5412

    Hello

    I am trying to generate random phase multi-sine waveform using the PXI-5412 14 bits 100 M/s AWG on LabVIEW8.0.

    The version of LabVIEW8.0 for the PXI-5412 comes with a sample VI on multi-tone waveform generation. When I tried with a different combination of frequency and amplitude, there is no problem with the sample VI.

    Because I need the phase to be random for each frequency component, I had tore the tone cluster containing 3 elements, i.e. frequency, amplitude and phase, which feeds the generator of signals, and rebundle the cluster with elements of reading a CSV file by using a loop, a fixed value amplititude and a number of random phase of the frequency generated by a random number (formula lournies elements (: pi - 2pi x r). When the waveform multi-sinusoidale generated on the PXI-5112 100 MHz Digital Oscilloscope, it was pointed out that the waveform would change with the tested frequency range.  However, the amplitude of the wave is always ~1.4V (guess that's always default to 1 V x sqrt (2)).  There is no question also when testing the same combination of frequency and amplitude by using sample VI without modification.

    Please find attached the VI of the sample, snatching up to the version and the CSV file I used. Is there something wrong with the table 1 d of the cluster of 3 elements that I built and assembled causing the signal generator to ignore the value of input amplitude and, possibly, the input value of the same phase (as it seems that the amplititude is always set to the default)?

    The other question that I found on the two sample VI and ripped version is on the news of sampling.  The waveforms appear on digital Oscilloscope PXI-5112 always default to 10 cycles no matter how changed the sampling frequency and the number of samples.  For example, if the frequency is 10 Hz, sampling frequency is 1000 Hz, and I put the number of samples to 10000.  I'm supposed to get 10000/100 = 100 cycles.  However, I could see 10 cycles no matter how, I changed.  What should be the correct way to change the number of cycles?

    Really appreiciate your help and advice. Thank you.

    1 phase unit is in degrees (-180 to 180), no - pi pi.
    2 standardize Waveform.vi always normalize your amplitude of the signal. You can remove it to use your desired amplitue, but must make sure that it is not above 5412 spec.

  • Problems with the speed of execution on my T420

    I'm not very tech savvy, so bear with me please if I have forgotten something or doing something wrong.

    Just to clarify, my laptop is a Lenovo ThinkPad T420i, Type 4178. It is about 2 years old.

    I have Windows 7 64 bit.

    My laptop takes about 2-5 minutes to turn on, sometimes it turn on at all. The screen freezes every 15 seconds, but I'm still able to move my cursor. He accused some too. For example, type 'how to download google chrome' will take me sometimes a whole minute, because the only parts of the sentence will be displayed on the screen at once. My keyboard responds very well. The problem is not with wireless internet, because even if the wireless is off the laptop computer is still incredibly slow. It is impossible to watch videos because the screen freezes so.

    I had this problem with the speed of my laptop for about 2 months now. I had finished it wiping back to factory settings, downloaded every scanner malware and virus known to man (none of them found no problems with it) and updated all my drivers.

    I don't really know how to do much on my laptop other than the use of the internet. I would really appriciate instructions step by step.

    Thank you.

    Hello. I did it all at once (up to 8 GB, SSD of RAM HARD disk and reinstall Windows), that's why I can't answer you, how did each of them, but after all, my absolutely BRILLIANT T420 representation!
    Chip graphic is now the weak link, and, unfortunately, it cannot be replaced.

  • How to solve a serious problem with the Battary of my T500 laptop?

    Hi Forum,

    My laptop is Lenovo THINKPAD T500 2055, and its main features are the following:

    -T 39, 6651 SBB 9 CELL LI-ION BATTERY
    -Processor Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 (2.53 GHz, 1066 MHz, 6MBL2)
    -8 GB DDR3 SDRAM Memory Module 4 GB (2 x 4 GB) 1066 MHz DDR31066/PC38500 DDR3 SDRAM SoDIMM Kingston.
    -HDD 2 GB Intel Turbo Memory cache.
    -ATI Mobility Radeon 3650 with 256 MB.
    -160 GB of HDD, 7200 RPM.
    -Windows 7 complete edition with the latest Service Pack (x 64).

    My problem with precision and brevity is the Battary. I was using my laptop with the same battary since 01.01.2009 (almost 3.5 years), and the battary works quite OK.

    Most of the time, that my laptop is plugged and work with electricity. However, A very short time, I used the laptop while it is running on battery power, however, I used to empty the weeks of the dough from time to time, i.e. all 3, I unplug the charger and continue to use the laptop until I see the orange warning sign (5%), then, I connect again.

    Fortunately, I never had problems with the battary or the cell phone, and when I charge the laptop usually it shows sign full (100%).

    Suddenly three days ago my laptop starts to blink and the orange sign battary constantly in charge shows 100%. When I try to run on the battery by disconnecting the AC adapter, the laptop immediately loses its power and stops immediately.

    What do you do? Could you please give me useful tips to solve this problem?

    I'd be greatly and sincerely appreciate all of your entries!

    Thank you for your consideration of my request and I look forward to hearing from you soon!

  • HP pavilion dv6-2150us: problems with the upgrade of processor for an i7-720qm on a hp pavilion dv6-2150us

    Hi all

    My friend recently bought an i7-720qm processor used to upgrade hp pavilion dv6 2 1 5 0 US and I

    summer giving a helping hand by making the upgrade.

    Since the 10 Windows running Google Chrome used up to 70% of the processing of an i3 - 330 m power

    processor, it seemed to be good upgrade to improve the performance of the laptop.

    We checked that the new i7 processor is compatible with the laptop (it is listed as supported by the)

    ( interview guide , page 108), and the seller assured us he tested the CPU on some different

    HP pavilion and it worked fine.

    But when I replaced the processor with the i7 processor i3 and tried to boot up the laptop, only the LED lights

    on the front and the setting of the power and volume buttons would light up periodically. The screen was black

    All the time.

    Thinking I might have made a mistake during the reassembly of the laptop I put the original i3 processor back in

    and it starts fine.

    I updated the BIOS of the F.1C version I found on the internet and once replaced the i3 with the i7 with the

    same results - display off, flashes periodically LEDs. The BIOS updated smoothly, and the correct version is displayed in the main menu of the BIOS.

    I am confused on what could be the problem with the upgrade, everything should work. Is there a BIOS update I have

    missed, or the problem elsewhere?

    Disassembly and reassembly are made with care, and we took care to avoid static electricity. All the rest

    on the laptop works well - I am writing this post on the laptop in question with the original i3 processor in place.

    Any help, advice or general guidelines as to what should be done would be really appreciated.

    Thank you for your attention.
